Just a little outline of schools in England for understanding. Like most school the year is split into 3 (autumn, spring and summer term). For the summer holidays we have 6 weeks off and this chapter is set after that.
Reply to reviews:
sjritts - glad you weren't expecting that. I always manage to put these two together somehow in my stories. Thanks for thinking Aaron's smart mouth is good. There is more this chapter.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
Chapter 9
It was a new term, a new school year and Morgan couldn't wait for it.
She had enjoyed the 6 weeks off with Aaron and had finally found him a job as an A&E doctor.
It means now that he had weird hours but Morgan knew that he was doing something that he enjoyed as it probably reminded him of the past and how he use to help Gaius.
Morgan had just finished loading up her car and about to leave when Aaron walked around the corner. He looked rushed off his feet.
"Alright handsome." Morgan shouted.
Aaron came out of his thoughts and smiled at her.
"Yes and how is my beautiful princess today?" Aaron said putting his arms around her waist.
"Oh beautiful princess is it now?"
"Well you were technical one." He said in a matter for fact way.
"Suppose so." Morgan looked at him. "At this rate I will be late which I don't mind but you look exhausted. Go on, go have a shower and get to bed."
Aaron yawned. "That seems like a very good idea."
Aaron kissed her on the cheek and then let go of her, walking towards the door.
Morgan watched as he struggled to put the key in the door.
"Want any help?"
He managed to get it before turning back to her.
"Aren't you going to be late?" He said to her.
Morgan waved at him before she got into her car.
"Sorry I'm late." Morgan said as she entered the staff room.
The headmaster looked at the clock. "Well you are earlier than you were last year."
Morgan smiled and took the coffee that Mrs Jennings was offering her.
"Thanks." She whispered as the headmaster when on about reaching targets and that this year will be better than last year.
"When did that happen?" She said pointing to the ring.
"End of last term. We had a falling out over something and that's how he made it up."
Mrs Jennings gave her a look. "So fast?"
"Oh yer I know. My father isn't too happy with it when I told him. But I had a school friend and her parents got engaged after 2 weeks. There are still together now."
"Yours wasn't 2 weeks, yours was like 2 days."
"We just click. It feels like we have known each other for years."
"Right to your forms everyone." The headmaster said dismissing everyone.
Morgan finished up her coffee. "Right better see the motley crew."
She quickly rinsed her mug before leaving.
"Class dismissed." Morgan said.
It was only lunch time and Morgan wished she could have another week of holiday.
She checked her phone but nothing had come up.
Aaron usually would text her first so that she knew when he was up but she just wanted to hear his voice.
It was like Morgan had willed the phone to ring when it did.
"You alright now?" Morgan said.
"Yer, yer. Having the shower was a good idea. Although I would have preferred somebody else to be in there with me."
"Oh, well if you wanted to shower with him then you should have just gone to the lake."
"Morgan how many times do I have to say? I was never in a relationship with Arthur. Yes at times it may have looked like I was in love with him but I wasn't because I was smitten by you. Anyway even if I was in love with Arthur, he wasn't meant to be mine, he was Gwen's."
"Ahh was you jealous?"
"Morgan, I was not jealous because my eyes were only for you."
"Aaron I am only joking with you."
"I know but can we stop it now."
"Maybe?" Morgan left him hanging
"So as it is your first day back and my first day off, I was hoping to take you to some restaurant but I haven't got to know the area so I was wondering where you would recommend?"
Morgan smiled. "We could just go to the pub. They do really nice food there and its not far from home so we can go back and maybe have a shower?"
Morgan gasped.
"Morgan, Morgan are you okay?"
"Yes, just felt this wave of magic roll through me. Look you must be tried. Go back to bed and we can see about tonight when I get home okay?"
"Morgan ..."
"I love you." She said and hung up before he could say anything else.
She followed where this energy was coming from and came to a stop outside of the headmaster's office.
There was this boy sitting in one of the chairs.
He looked no older than 12 but when he looked up at Morgan, she could see that like Merlin's her eyes looked older. They were this brilliant bright blue and with his black hair as well he could be taken as a mini Merlin.
"Hello Morgana." A voice said in her head.
"How do you know who I am?"
"Don't you remember me?" The voice had now turned sad
"No I remember the pull of the magic but I cannot remember you."
"Shame because together we could have taken over the world. And we should have done if Emrys would have kept his nose out of our plans."
"He was only doing what he thought was right, as were we."
"But there is a right way and a wrong way ..."
"And do you think we had the right way? Magic has gone from the earth thanks to us Mordred."
The boy looked down again but Morgan could see his smile.
"So you do remember me?"
"Ah Miss Fay, just the person I wanted to talk to." The headmaster said coming out of his office. "I see you have met young Hugo."
"Not on name terms no." Morgan looked down at 'Hugo'. "Nice to meet you."
"Come in." The headmaster said opening his office up to her.
"This is Hugo's social worker."
"He is in care?" Morgan said.
"He has had many problems fitting in the past. He has special gifts that other children find … not so special. He just needs to keep his head down." His social worker explained.
"Of course, he can come into my form and I will keep an eye on him." She turned to the headmaster. "If that's okay?"
The headmaster sighed.
"I thought that's why you wanted to speak with me."
"Yes but Morgan you can't keep picking up each broken child and try and fix them."
"Oh I can try." Morgan said.
"Well if you have the afternoon with him to try and get him use to the place then that will be helpful." Hugo's social worker said.
"Of course, I only have years 7 this afternoon and I am sure someone could cover for me."
"Its settled then." The headmaster said and shock the social workers hand.
Morgan enjoyed her afternoon with Hugo, until Aaron came.
"Aaron, what are you doing here?" Morgan said as she walked Hugo to the front doors.
His social worker was going to pick him up before school actually ended to have less pressure on Hugo.
"I thought I would walk and come and see you. You do have a free last don't you?"
Morgan smiled. "Yes, how did you know?"
"I am physic." Aaron said smiling back at her.
"I don't think the same trick is going to work on her Emrys. I will have her back."
Aaron turned his attention to the boy next to Morgan.
"The battle has already won by me. I know what you have done over the centuries but this time I have won. I got her first."
"Oh Emrys this is never over. You made me what I am now, are you proud?"
"Well as you are here I can introduce you to everybody and if they ask you to go for a drink say no."
"Why?" Aaron said trying to take his eyes off Mordred.
"Because you will regret it." Morgan kissed Aaron on the check. "I will just take Hugo out to see his social worker then I will come back for you."
Aaron smiled but it dropped once Morgan and Hugo passed him. He looked behind to see Hugo looking back at him.
"She will chose me over you again just you wait and see."
"Right Aaron, this is everybody. Everybody, this is Aaron, my fiancée."
"FIANCEE" Miss East shouted. "Bloody hell that was quick. You only started dating before the summer holidays. Quick romance was it."
"Oh yer, we just found that we just clicked so quickly." Aaron said.
"Oh so how did you do it then? Romantic dinner? Or the cinema? Did you take her away? Was it to Paris?"
Aaron looked at Morgan who gave him the go ahead to speak his mind.
"Of course those are all brilliant ideas but I proposed in the school's car park. It just felt right. I told her that it felt like we had known each other for years, about 1500 years."
Miss East gave him the weirdest of looks. "Are you a vampire?"
"I believe vampires cannot go out in the sun, or so Bram Stoker says." Aaron looked towards Morgan. "We better be getting home."
Morgan took that as an opportunity to escape. "Good idea."
Miss East didn't let them go that easily. "Ahhhh, you do know that you are her first boyfriend. Well the first boyfriend that we know of and she has allowed you to marry her …."
Aaron sighed. "Miss East, as much as you might like hearing your own voice but I don't. I have lived with someone who thinks that they are better than everyone and sadly I hoped never to met someone like that again. Last time you gave me the impression that you are single. Well how about to see how to treat people then maybe that's why Morgan is engaged and you are still single. Ciao." Aaron grabbed Morgan's arm and dragged her out of there.
"Remind me never to do that again." He said once they had left.
Morgan just chuckled beside him.
"What?" He said turning towards her.
"'Maybe that's why Morgan is engaged and you are still single. Ciao.' Where did you learn that from?"
"What did you think I was doing when you worked? I was watching TV to understand how this social system worked."
Morgan just smiled. "So where are we going tonight?"
